"The club controls our hairstyle and makeup, and we have to foot the bill," Lacy T. told the Mercury News. "We also have to pay the costs for traveling to all kinds of events, including photo shoots ... I love the Raiders and I love being a Raiderette, but someone has to stand up for all of the women of the NFL who work so hard for the fans and the teams."

The women can also be fined for wearing the wrong workout clothing to rehearsals or failing to bring a yoga mat to practice, the suit claims.

Vinick said the team owes the women tens of thousands of dollars for unpaid wages and penalties for past and current cheerleaders.
